Need to know if/what are any modifications needed to convert 4+3 to 5 or 6 speed standard transmission? Need transmission and price.

 

- Mike, they did not make an 83 Corvette, I'm guessing you mean 84.

- I think some people have had great success swapping in a ZF 6 Speed in place of the old Doug Nash one since they both come from a C4. I'm not sure what a ZF would cost right now. Perhaps around $2000 + core. Plus I'm guessing you'd have to get the correct driveshaft since I doubt the two transmissions are the same length. Also you might be looking at a new flywheel to match the ZF as the ZF uses a dual mass setup, and I'm not quite sure what the DN 4+3 uses. ZF clutch hydraulics will probably be needed as well. I think the ZF is the most painless since it was installed on 89+ C4 Corvettes, and the parts are still available.

- I've heard of others swapping in transmissions other than a ZF, but it requires more work. I think a Richmond 6 speed would also work well. But basically transmission swaps aren't cheap, and aren't always easy. Maybe someone else more familiar with transmission swaps with chime in.

 

1983 Corvette. that's the funniest thing i've heard all day...

 

I've saw 1 '83 vette....................











in the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green,KY

 

I need information on conversion of 4+3 transmission in a 87 corvette to either 5 or 6 speed.

 

im guessing that you would need everything having to do with the tranny out of a new c4 eqipped with a m6. this would pry be a easy swap if u had a wrecked donor m6 car but im not sure.
